Yours is a pretty big motor and I know you have $$ in the heads (I have W9's done by the same fella) but you made something like 760 IIRC at 436" (?) that's nothing to laugh at by any means but a lot of these small cube high rpm W8 motors make around 2hp/ CI in my opinion that is quite an impressive task. 364" 9:1 made 733. I do however wonder what the dry sump is worth on the time slip.




The dry sump does make more power.. its been proven
on the dynos.. it has a larger effect on larger engines
but I cant say what the time slip would say.. due
to the chassis set up... the vac part of the pump is
a big factor, as is the no oil in the pan(very little)

Wow for $3500 that would be a deal just swap the rotating assembly for as much stroke as possible in that low deck block.




I know..... I just had too much on my plate finishing my car to buy it. For that money the dry sump would have cost that much.
